She was taken into the Royal Navy as HMS Abeille, but apparently never served and was broken up in 1798.

Abeille was a Montagne-class cutter built to a design by Daniel Denÿs and launched in October 1793 at Saint-Malo as Bonnet Rouge.

Between March and July 1795, while under the command of ensigne de vaiseau Denis, she cruised between Brest and Loctudy, and return.

[1] She was at the First Battle of Groix in June 1795, but like all the smaller vessels, did not participate in the action.

[1] On 2 May 1796, Dryad, under Acting-Commander John Pullin, captured Abeille some 16 or 17 leagues off The Lizard.
